Off-Campus Mental Health Referrals & Case Management Support
Navigating the many resources available on campus and in the community can be overwhelming. CAPS offers Resource & Referral appointments that are designed to assist you with identifying and accessing both campus and community resources. These appointments are not therapy sessions, nor are they intended for students in crisis.
